Special Cable Dispatch 10 THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, May 27.-ln the political world every.
thing Is strangely quiet All the ministers have
LETT town except Lord Salisbury. Churchill has
gone TO Epson, where he has TWO horses entered
70 run His experience on the turf, by the way,
has not been fortunate, the pink and brown sleeves
never yet having been carried past the post first.
Morleys speech two days ago has created some
uneasiness among liberals, from the uncertain
line he took about the presence OF Irish members
at Westminster. Instead OF admitting frankly
that a home-rule bill which proposed 10 excluo1
them
WOULD NOT HAVE A GHOST or A CHANCE
OF success, he merely said that any suggestion on
the subject would, he was sure, receive a most
careful examination SO strong is the feeling
among liberals throughout the country, such a
sentence, II spoken during a critical campaign,
would be almost enough TO lose the election.
When the house meets again the nrst formal
business will probably be the Goschen budget

GLADSTONE AND THE IRISH GIRL
Tuesday night, as Gladstone was entering the
house OF commons an enthusiastic Irish girl ran
up TO him, greeted him with ELUSIVE and demon
strative affection and thanked him In the name of
Irish womanhood In Ireland beyond the sea for the
services which he had rendered their country.
Gladstone, with the courtly old-time manner
which distinguishes him, exclaimed, ''Give me the
honor OF shaking your hand" He tnen continued,
'lou thank me Tor what have done. have done
but little but with the help OF God / hope before
long we shall have done much more" The en-
phasis with which he spoke and the confidence he
expressed immensely impressed his auditor hut
am AFRAID Gladstone ln these confident calcula-
tions is drawing bin on the future which the
future is not likely TO meet.

bic to Pay for Building Sewers.
Judge Durham, the First Controller of the Treas
ury, has decided that in accordance with the Ian
guage of the last appropriation. bill the drawback
certificates that have been deposited in the Treas
ury as revenues of the District are available for
the payment OF the Districts share OF the $500 OOO
for sewerage appropriated by the Forty eighth
Congress.
Under the terms OF the original act Judge Dur
ham decided in 1885 that these drawbacks could
not go to the payment of this Indebtedness OF the
District, as the act provided only that the surplus
money belonging TO the District In the Treasury
should be credited to this account. But by the
act OF last session it was declared tnat the draw
back certificates shall be considered as money in
all settlements with the District, under any act
1t is presumed that the revenues of the District
deposited In the Treasury each year exceed one
half the expenditures under the approorta-
tion, but there is no one set Of books
that shows just how much the balance
in favor OF the District is. 1t Is certain however,
that one,half this balance, counting the draw
backs, which the bill provides may be used to
settle this account, viii exceed by considerable
the $500 which is the Districts SHARE
About $25, 600 OF these drawbacks, Judge Dur
ham says, are not properly signed and will not be
received by him; but there are more than enough
without these for the settlement OF this account
Commissioner Wheatley will be asked to make
statement before the First Controller concern
Ing the drawbacks that are not in proper form.

thpught that the Washington Light Infantry had
made a close fight for third place.
While the LOmaX Rifles were still drilling the
Washington Light Infantry battalion marched on
to the parade ground and underwent inspection.
They presented most creditabe appearance and

stripes darker blue coats with triple rows of brass
buttons and gold epaulettes and stiff caps with
white plulneS. They went through the manual In
good shape In firing lying down one man lost his
cap. Their marching was creditable, and they
left very good impression on the public, although
not equal to that OF the LomaX Rifles, who gave
decidedly the best exhibition OF the day.
While the Washington Light Infantry battalion
was being inspected the 5th Rhode Island battal-
ion, which had been previously inspected, ap-
peared and waited until the field clear to COM
